>> certainly whether we're closer to a deal on the fiscal cliff and a debate between senator durbin and congressman mccarthy of california. so two top lieu tenants who are negotiating this. we will be talking a lot about syria today and covering that on the program as well because i think that's moving very quickly. and it gets, i think, a broader question, too, about what is the obama foreign policy in a second term? what is the vision for a region that i think could pull him in and occupy a lot of his time? >> what do you make of the ongoing battle over the next secretary of state? hillary clinton finally came out and gave a strong endorsement to susan rice. some people, including maureen dowd, would suggest maybe that took a little longer than was necessary. >> it was striking. it was striking how long it took. and it didn't go unnoticed, obviously. >> she's traveling. >> you see john kerry being embraced by republicans. i think a lot of democrats would also like him to be the next secretary of state. where are we in that fight? we have so many issues that are on the front pages now.

senator durbin who has been a real champion on human rights. i want to acknowledge kyle parker, a staff person from the helsinki commission who was very instrumental in the development of this legislation, and i want to also acknowledge senator lieberman's work. i know he will be speaking in a few minutes. it was senator lieberman and senator mccain and myself that first suggested that we should pass the magnitsky bill, it's the right thing to do, but we certainly shouldn't let pntr go without attaching the magnitsky bill. i want to thank senator lieberman and thank senator mccain for raising that connection. it was the right thing to do. first of all, it allowed us to get this human rights tool enacted. secondly, i think it gave us the best chance to get the pntr bill done in the right form. so i want to thank both of them for their leadership on that. in 1974, we passed the jackson vanik law. it dealt with the failure of the soviet union to allow for the immigration of its citizens, affecting mainly soviet jews. it was controversial in its ti

>> senator harkin and others like senator durbin said the latest democratic position which would have been given to republicans on saturday night was an offer of keeping tax rates the same for everybody earning less than $450,000 per year. the two sides are not that far apart. the democrats are now relinquishing the demand that the state tax -- that the estate tax goes up. it is close to being signed up -- signed off on. this is not the kind of all singing, all dancing $1 trillion deal that was on the table in recent weeks. this is a smaller, kicking the can down their road, to prevent the most pernicious aspects of the fiscal cliff from taking effect. >> let's go back to the schedule because the deadline is tonight at midnight but also the end of this congress ostensibly is january 2. with all of these deadlines hitting the end of the clock, what can we expect? >> if there is an agreement, i would think all sides like to get it done by the end of this current congress. that would be before the end of january to. otherwise, there is upwards of 100 new members of congress coming in. th
